KUALA LUMPUR Malaysia intercepted and returned a shipment of North Korean military communications equipment sent to Thailand in 2011, the country`s police chief said on Monday, amid growing scrutiny of the southeast Asian nation`s dealings with North Korea.
Khalid said International Global System was set up in 2005 by Malaysian and North Korean shareholders.
"Last month, Reuters reported that North Korean intelligence ran an arms operation out of Malaysia called Glocom, using two front companies identified as International Global System and International Golden Services.
Khalid said the two front companies had tried to sell Glocom equipment in Malaysia, including to the police and the army, but did not succeed.
Glocom sold battlefield radio equipment in violation of United Nations sanctions, according to a U.N. report submitted to the Security Council.
